New to vintage bicycles

[bug512]

Hello, I have had a interest in getting a cruiser / vintage bicycle sine I purchased a Giant Simple 3 for my Wife last year.

Well today was the day while driving to her parents that she spotted a older bicycle in a yard sale. Well $10 later I drove it home !!! I am pretty sure it is a Huffy Galaxy. Please let me know if you have any more information on this bicycle. Shortly after the purchase I have all the components removed from the frame. Looking to clean it up, paint and restore.
Do you think the fenders will clean up?
Is there a online store for replacement parts?
Any ideas for restoration would be greatly appreciated.

As far as "other" bike riding, we also do that. For that we have Cannondale bicycles.

Welcome! Here is some advice I wish someone had given me: If you find a bike and not sure of the value DO NOT touch it! Check here first. I ruined a $400 bike I got for $50 because I repainted it
